BLOOD POISON

Three years ago contracted a blood poison.
lapplied to physician at once and his treat
ment came near killing me. / employed an
old physician and then went to Ky. i then
went to Hot Springs and remained two months,
but nothing seemed to cure me permanently,
although temporary relief was given me. My
condition grew desperate and applied to a
noted quack, but did not improve. l then
used preparation which was prescribed
gratis" but it contained too much alcohol
and aggravated my snfferings. then placed
myself undCr the treatment of a noted Nash
vile physician and for a time was benefited,
but by fall l returned home a ruined man,
physically and financially, with but little pros
poets of ever getting well. My money being
exhausted, | did not know what to do. In
May, 1885, my mother persuaded me to get
bottle of b. b. b. (made in Atlanta) and did
so to crafty her, but to my utter astOnish-
ment had not finished the first bottle before
every ulcer had been healed.
To the present time have used five bottles
and have received more benefit than from all
the rest combined; and am satisfied that Ii.
Ii. b. is the most wonderful blood purifier ever
before known, and | urge all afflicted young
men to try one single bottle and be convinced.
l can truly say think 1t the best medicine in
the world. u. II. HALLERTON.

VERY NERVOUS.

For many years | have been afflicted with
Rheumatism combined with some Kidney
Troubles. Indigestion finally added to my
misery and | soon became feeble and very
nervous, and my whole system was pros.
trated. Several physicians were employed
and numerous patent medicines resOrted to
without benefit. After seeing so many test-
mOnials extolling the wonderful merit of b.
Is. b., commenced its use, and the effect was
like magic. Rheumatic pain ceased, my KID
neys were relieved and my constitution i'm
proved at once and cheerfully recommend it
TO others who may be similarly afflicted

sweet music, while Elk Gov. Horace
Fairbanks, assisted by his daughters,
Misses Agnes and Isabel, held the usual

greetings with the people of the viii
lage who called. There were evidences
of Gardener Gentry's skill and taste in
the floral decorations, and the recep-
ton passed off very pleasantly and

1910 were soldiers of the late war, 1444
widows, dependents and minors; %
survivors of the war of 1912 and III
widows of soldiers of 1879. Caledonia
county had BIZ veterans of the late
war with $29O9.75; 144 widows, etc.,
with $l811 two survivors of 1912 and
IA widows with $l84, aggregating Az
pensioners and $4904.75. Of the IA
counties Caledonia ranks fifth in the
receipt of pensions and our percentage
of pension receipts of the population is
.0202, fourth in rank. The amount of
pensions received into the state from
the federal government is .4O62 per
cent. of the grand list of the state.
The pensions received in this county
are equal to 1883 per cent. of the
grand list off, the county. Caledonia
ranks third by population and fifth on
its grand list. From this it will be
seen that this county has received ra-
ther more than the average of pension
ia vors and yet not a bit more than she
deserves.

Railroad Notes.

Railroad Notes.
A dispatch from Concord, N. H.,
Friday, said 1t is rumOred here that
the Boston & Lowell railroad company
have substantially completed negotia-
tons for leasing the Passumpsic rail-
made a proposition for leasing the
Passumpsic a short time since, and
that the terms then submitted have
been practically accepted. This ru-
NOR was denied Saturday but it is gen
orally believed that it is the forerunner
of the final conclusion that will be
reached.
Passumpsic railroad stock took a
flying jump Friday from 10Y up to l12.
Those who paid IS cents for Passump-
sic stock not much over n year ago are
realizing very pretty thing on their
investment. The rumOr of the pro-
posed lease of the Passumpsic to the
Boston 81 Lowell may have given rise
to the last jump, but the former road
is in good shape every way and is like
ly to hold its own at least.
The railroad editor of the Boston
Journal said Tuesday:
Connecticut and Passumpsic declin-
ed to Ill. President Harris of this
road Joins with the Boston & Lowell
officials in denying all knowledge OF
any lease to the Lowell road. Mr..
Harris further says that no official pro-
position for IA lease has been made by
the Boston s. Lowell or acted upOn by
the Passumpsic, though he had no
doubt that the Boston & Lowell would
like such a lease. The lease of the
Passumpsic would give the Boston &
Lowell and Canadian Pacific a through
| line to Montreal, the Canadian Pacific
controlling the road from Newport to
Montreal.
The Boston Advertiser says:
The b. & l.. have contract with
the Passumpsic which was executed
two years ago to run five years. This
contract is said to cover substantially
all that the B. & l.. wOnld gain in the
event of lease. In this connection,
it may be said, that that the traffic ar

the Canadian Pacific has not been COLI
summated as was hoped, by the new
year, owing to delay in completing Il
small section of the Canadian Pacific
track. About seven miles of track
still remains to be laid before the cars
of the Canadian Pacific can be seen in
| Boston. The storms of winter will
doubtless make still further delay
and it is not Improbable that the mat
ter may be delayed until the opening
of spring. II the Lowell does mo-
lease the Passumpsic, union between

such an extent as to insure the success
of the club, and more thorough can

having the chute built on the Fair

crate affair. IL is already announced
